Are you asking what happenes when the plates shift, why the plates shift, how the plates shift, or what? Please make the question more clear.
_________________________________________________________________
plates have been constantly shifting since the time the earth was formed. but, they move at different rates in different directions
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
large pieces of the lithosphere that move around on the asthenosphere are called Tectonic Plates.
Underground plates are called tectonic plates. These plates are large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, causing phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The moving plates in the Earth's crust are often compared to puzzle pieces that fit together to form the planet's surface. This comparison helps illustrate how the plates interact and shift over time due to tectonic forces.
As a result of the sudden shift between two tectonic plates, an earthquake occurs. This sudden movement releases energy in the form of seismic waves that shake the ground, causing the Earth's crust to break and deform. The intensity and impact of the earthquake depend on the magnitude of the shift and the location of the plates.
Tectonic shift
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Tectonic plates.
Tectonic plates shift and cause earthquakes.
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
It's a shift in the Earth's tectonic plates.
